Is this really pak??

Yes my good man. A bit different from whats on the tv right?

These pictures would definitely serve as a shocker to people who have only seen the dirty side of pakistan. Little do most people know that pakistan is better than many european countries. Anyways, Lahore ring road can compete in worlds most beautiful roads, its just too mind blowing. I am planning to rent a nice SUV and just drive on it for hours on a sunday morning.

The Lahore ring road is awesome. At least once every weak me and my buds go 'zen driving' on it. We pit stop on the farther end of the Lahore airport runway near the Garrison Golf club and smoke while watching planes taking off right over us. The only thing is that its a bit confusing. Even now we end up getting lost on it.

And Mr.Imran how could you have forgotten this. It's only the world's highest paved road after all. Fun fact: The highest mountain is the Alps is Mont Blanc at a height of 4800 meters. The KKH passes over 4900 meters. We have roads passing running than the alps.

Riding up the Karakorum Highway (KKH), Northern Pakistan - YouTube!
 
^^^ Im planning on making a whole thread on the KKH and the Gilgit-Skardu road. Sort of a virtual trip on it from Hasanabdal to Khunjrab with my own pics. A little teaser:

I took all these pics myself.


This was taken around 20 min further on the KKH from Chillas early in the morning during December:

This was taken right outside the last Petrol station when your exiting Jaghlot:

An hour away from Gilgit:

Between Raikhot and Jaghlot:

An hour away from Dassu in Jan:

This is where the 3 highest and mightiest mountain ranges of the world meet! On the left you see the Hindukush on the right you see the Himalayas and in the middle and farthest back, the darker, taller mountain is of the Karakorum. At this point the KKH runs on the side of Hindukush and after another hour's drive cross over the Indus river into the Karakorum.
